Schumer: No more conservative justices will be confirmed
When President Clinton nominated radical ACLU lawyer Ruth Bader Ginsberg to the Supreme Court, Republicans recognized a president's constitutional right to appoint any qualified person he pleases, regardless of ideology- and voted to confirm her without a fight.
Democrats famously refuse to extend the same courtesy to Republican judges.
And now, Sen. Charles Schumer (D-NY) has made it official: no more Sam Alitos will be confirmed. Democrats- now in the majority- claim the right to dictate to the President of the United States the ideology of his appointments to the Court.

Bottom line: Your own position has effectively safeguarded Roe. Hope you're proud of yourself!
The gentleman I did vote for, Dennis FitzSimons, would support judges who's Judicial philosophy would correct Roe v. Wade.

Including squandering the chance to confirm a judge who would have given the Court a conservative majority until the next Republican administration.
